The Chileans were complimentary to the articles which appear in the Law Review, publication of the U. S. C. School of Law, and praised the general excellence of the magazine.
Drury Tells Dangers in Arterial Ills
By Richard Fish
Attracted by the enigmas of high blood pressure, the Wednesday lecture series’ largest audience filled 159 Science to overflowing yester day and heard Dr. Douglas Drury tell that science doesn’t know the cause of that disease, is in the dark about treatment, but that the way is now open for experiments leading to a positive cure for this greatest cause of sudden death.
The School of Medicine physiol ogy professor explained how insulin, the means of checking diabetes, was discovered only after a method for producing the disease artificial ly in animals had been found. Just three years ago high blood pressure was produced artificially in animals, so science, still with much research before lt, has taken a large step toward the solution of this circulatory mystery, Dr. Drury declared.
“Greatest date tn the history of physiology was 1628, the date of publication of Harvey’s book proving for the first time the existence of the circulation of the blood,” Dr. Drury asserted.
Further tracing the study of blood, he told how 100 years later Stephan Hale found a means of measuring arterial pressure, and in 1898 Riva-Rocca devised the present system used by physicians to measure blood pressure.
“The reason for the pressure in the circulatory system is to get blood through the arteries and into the capillaries to supply tissues. In Con tinned on Page Four

Japanese
Drive on Mongolia
Two Armies Race To Cut Communications Between China, Russia
SHANGHAI, Thursday, Jan. 13— (l'E>—Two Japanese armies were reported today to be driving across North China in a race to occupy Kansu province and cut off land communications between China and Soviet Russia.
Warning of the ambitious Japanese operation came from General Yeh Chien-hing. chief of staff of the Chinese communist Eighth Route army after a Chinese announcement that outer Mongolia has been declared a formal war zone.
MAY INCREASE RUSSIAN AID
It Was believed here that the outer Mongolian announcement might lead to increased Russian aid to China and that the Japanese offensives were designed to cope with such a development.
The Chinese, meanwhile, organized to stake everything on a defense of the Suchow area north of Nanking, massing more than 1,000,000 soldiers to meet an attack by 500,-000 Japanese moving up in four separate columns.
OUTCOME MAY BE DECIDED
Foreign military experts said that should the Japanese smash the Chinese forces on that front, reorganization of China’s armed resistance would be futile and the outcome of the entire war might easily be decided there.
General Chien-Hing, calling for a vigorous defense of Wuhan’s triple cities in the far north, asserted that one column of Japanese troops emerging from victories in Southern Shangtung province to the east is striving to occupy eastern sections of Lunfihai from whence they probably will strike out westward against Chenghcow.
CHINESE TO MAKE CONTACT
At Chengchow, he said, the Shantung troops intend to make contact with Japanese columns from Northern Honan province.
The two armies, led it was be-Continued on Page Four

Robinson Jeffers Is Subject Of Report
A report on the early poetry written by Robinson Jeffers. American poet, while he attended the University of Southern California was made by Dr. Louis Wann, professor of English language and literature, before the members and initiates of Epsilon Phi, English fraternity, last night.
Five signed poems written by Jeffers and printed by the University Courier, predecessor of the Daily Trojan, during the poet's matriculation at U. S. C. from 1905 to 1910 were read by Dr. Wann. The speaker preceded the reading of his paper by commenting upon the study he had made of Jeffers’ writing, Dr. Wann reported conversations he has had with professors who were members of the faculty in Jeffers’ time at U. S. C. and with others of the poet’s friends.
The story of Jeffers’ student life at the university was told and reference was made to reports of his activities by giving a brief resume of Jeffers’ mature work and reading three poems from the latest published Jeffers’ collection, “Such Counsels You Gave to Me.”
Arthur Knodel, president of Epsilon Phi. introcuced the speaker, and presented the newly initiated members of Epsilon Phi: Dr. Lionel Stevenson, Alan Gordon. Alastair Taylor, LeRov Goodman, Richard Hudson, Maria von Kellenbach, Charles Stewart. Ruth Watanabe, and John Golay.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12—(UJ?)— Grave fears were held tonight for the life of Justice Benjamin N. Car dozo of the Supreme court after three prominent specialists examined him and announced that his condition has not changed since this morning, when it was reported “not so good.”
A physician’s report at 8:30 p. m (EST) said that the condition of the justice had undergone “no change during the day.”
The liberal jurist. 67 years old and considered by many to be the greatest living master of the law. was too ill to receive President and Mrs. Roosevelt when they went to his bedside late today. They returned to the White House after leaving a boquet of roses.
SUFFERS NERVOUS AILMENT
Cardozo was stricken with shingles, a nervous ailment, on December 10, but his condition did not be-ocme critical until last week when he suffered recurrent heart attacks. His condition became increasingly grave this week and his physician, Dr. J. P. Earnest. Jr., began issuing bulletins twice daily.
This morning Earnest announced that Cardozo was “not so good today” and that hopes he would rally had not materialized. He declined to amplify his statement but summoned Drs. Worth Daniels and Thomas S. Lee, Washington heart specialists, into consultation this afternoon. Later they reported him unchanged. It was believed the justice was sinking slowly.
NO REPORTERS
No reporters were in the vicinity of the apartment house where Cardozo has made his home since 1932 when he resigned as chief-justice of the New York Court of Appeals to accept his present post. Newspapers and press associations entered a “gentlemen’s agreement” not to tation reporters in the apartment biulding. In return, Dr. Earnest agreed to keep them informed on developments
CONGRESS DENOUNCES VETO BILL
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12 — <U.P>— Vigorous denunciation of the new “Item veto” power proposed for President ttoosvelt rumbled today from house members who were caught napping vcsterday when administration supporters slipped it into the $1,415,000,000 independent offices bill.
Representative Clifton A. Woodrum, D., Va., high ranking member of the appropriations committee, assumed full responsibility for offering the amendment when only a corporal’s guard of the membership was on the floor. It would permit President Roosevelt to eliminate or reduce items in appropriations and other measures, except for veterans, if it would aid in budget-balancing or reducing the national debt.
On other congressional fronts. Senator Henry F. Ashurst, D., Ariz., introduced a bill broadening the federal corrupt practices act to prohibit corporations from making contributions to cover deficilts in past elections.
The senate foreign relations committee reported favorably the nomination of Joseph P. Kennedy as ambassador to Great Britain in the new diplomatic shake-up. It reported also the nominations of Hugh Wilson, assistant secretary of state, as ambasador to Germany and Norman Armour, minister to Canada, as ambassador to Chile.
The house passed, 107 to 10, a senate bill expanding the federal trade commission act to make unfair or deceptive representations or products illegal.
Cardozo has suffered from heart attacks for many years. He never takes physical exercise and spends his spare time reading classics or law literature.
Toshio Kanchi To Speak at YMCA Dinner
Toshio Kanchi, journalism student at U. S. C., will report on the national assembly of Student Christian associations tonight at the weekly YMCA dinner-meeting in the Student Union cafe at 6 o’clock, Bob Matzke, president, announced yesterday.
Kanchi attended the assembly in Oxford, Ohio, during Christmas vacation.
Matzke explained that the meeting will be open to non-members of the “Y”, “because the main topic of the conference concerned the problems of modern Christian students, and that topic is of interest to all men on the campus.” Reservation can be made in the “Y” offices before 12:30 today.
DEMOCRATS FEAR DISSENSION
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 —'UP?— Southern senators, pressing their anti-lynching bill filibuster, today started a blistering attack on gang and labor killings in northern cities and again warned the administration that sectional lines were drawn over the measure would wreck the Democratic party.
flier, and his crew of six to their
deaths.
Naval officials aboard the minesweeper A voce t. which reported finding the bits of wreckage northwest of the coast of this South Pacific Island, said they had been positively identified as those of the big clipper plane, lost since early yesterday when it reported motor trouble 75 miles out of Pago Pago.
ALL LIVES LOST
Navy and Pan American officials said there was no question that all seven aboard the plane lost their lives when it plunged into the ocean, less than six minutes flying time from its base here.
Musick, veteran of a quarter of a century of flying and the man who blazed Pan American air trails over three oceans—the Pacific and North and South Atlantic — was in command of the 19-ton flying boat pioneering a new route from Honolulu to New Zealand.
It was believed the plane, which reported it was dumping gasoline as it raced back to Pago Pago harbor with smoke pouring from the cowling of one motor, had exploded in mid-air or crashed into the sea and burned.
LAST REPORT TUESDAY Musick’s last report was at 3:27 a. m. Tuesday (3:27 p. m. EST). At that time he signed off preparatory to circling to make a landing at Pago Pago harbor.
After that there was a 23-hour silence, until the Avocet picked up a trail of oil slick, as lt criss-croosed over the rolling blue Pacific, and followed the oil to the wreckage.
LAUNCH PICKS UP PARTS
A launch from the Avocet nicked up parts of the wreckage wh # the navy reported “was identified satisfactorily as of the clipper."
Aboard the plane with Musick were Capt. C. G. Sellers, first officer; P. S. Brunk. junior flight officer; F. J. McLean, navigator; J. W. Stockrod, first engineering officer;
J. A. Brooke, assistant engineering office, and T. J. Findley, radio operator.
The crash of the Samoan clipper
Was the first major disaster in nearly 1.500.000 miles of overwater flying by Pan-American’s fleet cf clipper planes. The airline has never had a fatal crash of a plane carrying passenger on overwater routes.

Drury Tells Dangers in Arterial Ills
By Richard Fish
Attracted by the enigmas of high blood pressure, the Wednesday lecture series’ largest audience filled 159 Science to overflowing yester day and heard Dr. Douglas Drury tell that science doesn’t know the cause of that disease, is in the dark about treatment, but that the way is now open for experiments leading to a positive cure for this greatest cause of sudden death.
The School of Medicine physiol ogy professor explained how insulin, the means of checking diabetes, was discovered only after a method for producing the disease artificial ly in animals had been found. Just three years ago high blood pressure was produced artificially in animals, so science, still with much research before lt, has taken a large step toward the solution of this circulatory mystery, Dr. Drury declared.
“Greatest date tn the history of physiology was 1628, the date of publication of Harvey’s book proving for the first time the existence of the circulation of the blood,” Dr. Drury asserted.
Further tracing the study of blood, he told how 100 years later Stephan Hale found a means of measuring arterial pressure, and in 1898 Riva-Rocca devised the present system used by physicians to measure blood pressure.
“The reason for the pressure in the circulatory system is to get blood through the arteries and into the capillaries to supply tissues. In Con tinned on Page Four

Mr. N. Z. Abbot, head of the museum. has asked Harrison to act 3S its personal agent in collecting and photographing bird’s eggs and the life history of native birds.
At the present time comparatively little is known of the habits of the mammals and wild life of southern California. Motion pictures will be made.
Harrison is the outstanding authority in the country on bird’s eggs and is a leader in the field of photography as it applies to film-j ing bird life. He expects to add to | his own large collection on this trip. He recently won honorable mention in the international contest conducted by the American Society of Cinematographers for his life history of the Last Tern.
Accompanying Harrison on the cruise will be J. R. Pemberton, California oil umpire; G. W. Willet. curator of the Los Angeles museum; W. H. Burt. University of Michigan mammalogist; and S. A.

Drive on Mongolia
Two Armies Race To Cut Communications Between China, Russia
SHANGHAI, Thursday, Jan. 13— (l'E>—Two Japanese armies were reported today to be driving across North China in a race to occupy Kansu province and cut off land communications between China and Soviet Russia.
Warning of the ambitious Japanese operation came from General Yeh Chien-hing. chief of staff of the Chinese communist Eighth Route army after a Chinese announcement that outer Mongolia has been declared a formal war zone.
MAY INCREASE RUSSIAN AID
It Was believed here that the outer Mongolian announcement might lead to increased Russian aid to China and that the Japanese offensives were designed to cope with such a development.
The Chinese, meanwhile, organized to stake everything on a defense of the Suchow area north of Nanking, massing more than 1,000,000 soldiers to meet an attack by 500,-000 Japanese moving up in four separate columns.
OUTCOME MAY BE DECIDED
Foreign military experts said that should the Japanese smash the Chinese forces on that front, reorganization of China’s armed resistance would be futile and the outcome of the entire war might easily be decided there.
General Chien-Hing, calling for a vigorous defense of Wuhan’s triple cities in the far north, asserted that one column of Japanese troops emerging from victories in Southern Shangtung province to the east is striving to occupy eastern sections of Lunfihai from whence they probably will strike out westward against Chenghcow.
CHINESE TO MAKE CONTACT
At Chengchow, he said, the Shantung troops intend to make contact with Japanese columns from Northern Honan province.
The two armies, led it was be-Continued on Page Four

Robinson Jeffers Is Subject Of Report
A report on the early poetry written by Robinson Jeffers. American poet, while he attended the University of Southern California was made by Dr. Louis Wann, professor of English language and literature, before the members and initiates of Epsilon Phi, English fraternity, last night.
Five signed poems written by Jeffers and printed by the University Courier, predecessor of the Daily Trojan, during the poet's matriculation at U. S. C. from 1905 to 1910 were read by Dr. Wann. The speaker preceded the reading of his paper by commenting upon the study he had made of Jeffers’ writing, Dr. Wann reported conversations he has had with professors who were members of the faculty in Jeffers’ time at U. S. C. and with others of the poet’s friends.
The story of Jeffers’ student life at the university was told and reference was made to reports of his activities by giving a brief resume of Jeffers’ mature work and reading three poems from the latest published Jeffers’ collection, “Such Counsels You Gave to Me.”
Arthur Knodel, president of Epsilon Phi. introcuced the speaker, and presented the newly initiated members of Epsilon Phi: Dr. Lionel Stevenson, Alan Gordon. Alastair Taylor, LeRov Goodman, Richard Hudson, Maria von Kellenbach, Charles Stewart. Ruth Watanabe, and John Golay.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12—(UJ?)— Grave fears were held tonight for the life of Justice Benjamin N. Car dozo of the Supreme court after three prominent specialists examined him and announced that his condition has not changed since this morning, when it was reported “not so good.”
A physician’s report at 8:30 p. m (EST) said that the condition of the justice had undergone “no change during the day.”
The liberal jurist. 67 years old and considered by many to be the greatest living master of the law. was too ill to receive President and Mrs. Roosevelt when they went to his bedside late today. They returned to the White House after leaving a boquet of roses.
SUFFERS NERVOUS AILMENT
Cardozo was stricken with shingles, a nervous ailment, on December 10, but his condition did not be-ocme critical until last week when he suffered recurrent heart attacks. His condition became increasingly grave this week and his physician, Dr. J. P. Earnest. Jr., began issuing bulletins twice daily.
This morning Earnest announced that Cardozo was “not so good today” and that hopes he would rally had not materialized. He declined to amplify his statement but summoned Drs. Worth Daniels and Thomas S. Lee, Washington heart specialists, into consultation this afternoon. Later they reported him unchanged. It was believed the justice was sinking slowly.
NO REPORTERS
No reporters were in the vicinity of the apartment house where Cardozo has made his home since 1932 when he resigned as chief-justice of the New York Court of Appeals to accept his present post. Newspapers and press associations entered a “gentlemen’s agreement” not to tation reporters in the apartment biulding. In return, Dr. Earnest agreed to keep them informed on developments
CONGRESS DENOUNCES VETO BILL
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12 — — Vigorous denunciation of the new “Item veto” power proposed for President ttoosvelt rumbled today from house members who were caught napping vcsterday when administration supporters slipped it into the $1,415,000,000 independent offices bill.
Representative Clifton A. Woodrum, D., Va., high ranking member of the appropriations committee, assumed full responsibility for offering the amendment when only a corporal’s guard of the membership was on the floor. It would permit President Roosevelt to eliminate or reduce items in appropriations and other measures, except for veterans, if it would aid in budget-balancing or reducing the national debt.
On other congressional fronts. Senator Henry F. Ashurst, D., Ariz., introduced a bill broadening the federal corrupt practices act to prohibit corporations from making contributions to cover deficilts in past elections.
The senate foreign relations committee reported favorably the nomination of Joseph P. Kennedy as ambassador to Great Britain in the new diplomatic shake-up. It reported also the nominations of Hugh Wilson, assistant secretary of state, as ambasador to Germany and Norman Armour, minister to Canada, as ambassador to Chile.
The house passed, 107 to 10, a senate bill expanding the federal trade commission act to make unfair or deceptive representations or products illegal.
Cardozo has suffered from heart attacks for many years. He never takes physical exercise and spends his spare time reading classics or law literature.
Toshio Kanchi To Speak at YMCA Dinner
Toshio Kanchi, journalism student at U. S. C., will report on the national assembly of Student Christian associations tonight at the weekly YMCA dinner-meeting in the Student Union cafe at 6 o’clock, Bob Matzke, president, announced yesterday.
Kanchi attended the assembly in Oxford, Ohio, during Christmas vacation.
Matzke explained that the meeting will be open to non-members of the “Y”, “because the main topic of the conference concerned the problems of modern Christian students, and that topic is of interest to all men on the campus.” Reservation can be made in the “Y” offices before 12:30 today.
DEMOCRATS FEAR DISSENSION
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 —'UP?— Southern senators, pressing their anti-lynching bill filibuster, today started a blistering attack on gang and labor killings in northern cities and again warned the administration that sectional lines were drawn over the measure would wreck the Democratic party.
flier, and his crew of six to their
deaths.
Naval officials aboard the minesweeper A voce t. which reported finding the bits of wreckage northwest of the coast of this South Pacific Island, said they had been positively identified as those of the big clipper plane, lost since early yesterday when it reported motor trouble 75 miles out of Pago Pago.
ALL LIVES LOST
Navy and Pan American officials said there was no question that all seven aboard the plane lost their lives when it plunged into the ocean, less than six minutes flying time from its base here.
Musick, veteran of a quarter of a century of flying and the man who blazed Pan American air trails over three oceans—the Pacific and North and South Atlantic — was in command of the 19-ton flying boat pioneering a new route from Honolulu to New Zealand.
It was believed the plane, which reported it was dumping gasoline as it raced back to Pago Pago harbor with smoke pouring from the cowling of one motor, had exploded in mid-air or crashed into the sea and burned.
LAST REPORT TUESDAY Musick’s last report was at 3:27 a. m. Tuesday (3:27 p. m. EST). At that time he signed off preparatory to circling to make a landing at Pago Pago harbor.
After that there was a 23-hour silence, until the Avocet picked up a trail of oil slick, as lt criss-croosed over the rolling blue Pacific, and followed the oil to the wreckage.
LAUNCH PICKS UP PARTS
A launch from the Avocet nicked up parts of the wreckage wh # the navy reported “was identified satisfactorily as of the clipper."
Aboard the plane with Musick were Capt. C. G. Sellers, first officer; P. S. Brunk. junior flight officer; F. J. McLean, navigator; J. W. Stockrod, first engineering officer;
J. A. Brooke, assistant engineering office, and T. J. Findley, radio operator.
The crash of the Samoan clipper
Was the first major disaster in nearly 1.500.000 miles of overwater flying by Pan-American’s fleet cf clipper planes. The airline has never had a fatal crash of a plane carrying passenger on overwater routes.
